Man I am sorry to hear that. I am glad I payed extra for sharp. The sharp aquos LC32GPUB is only 32 inches but man this thing rocks in image quality especially once it is calibrated. I dont think I will ever use another brand for my purchases. I do like samsung too but the last two I owned...

I got my pre-order yesterday. Cant wait. Hopefully I will be out of the hospital by then. I am going for double hip-replacements this wednesday.

I dont think its them being cheap. It is that the adapter takes 3 plugs total to make up 1 8 pin. Most people use the 4 pin connector on the motherboard itself. I havent seen any video card include this adapter yet. My 4870 came with a 6 pin adapter because it atually does just use two molex to...

According to the adapter specs. It's requires two molex AND a 4 pin connector to convert to 8 pin.

The reason I reccomended the premium price on the 9650 is he wants his system to last a long time. Buying it now would prevent a future upgrade. Usually I agree to get with the price performance but obviously with what he is spending he is looking for high end. The P182 sucks for cable...

http://www.yougamers.com/articles/19939_3dmark_vantage_vs_games/ That is a pretty good read on the over all relevance of a synthetic benchmark in comparison to a game test suite. In fact you could make the argument it is more accurate to delve the results from the 3dmark database than it...

Your ram maybe holding you back. Not only are you runing just 2gb you are runing ddr2 667.

I have been building systems a long time and for this guys needs I agree with your suggestions albeit one thing. The cpu. He wants a system to last a really long time then you should put in a top of the line cpu and q6600 is now bottom of the barrel quad. Intel 9650 3.0 GH quad $559...

What I dont get is we have been runing gas guzling V8 engines for like 60 years in this country or longer and all of a sudden some low speed engine noises are a problem. The sounds only turn on when the car is runing on the electric motor. Just because there hasnt been a ton of fatalities doesnt...

As A Handicaped Man myself I am suprised at the cold hearted attitude of a lot of you. I am not blind (obviously). Wheel chair bound. You guys wouldnt have 1/10 of the balls it takes to forge ahead despite being handicap and all the hurdles one faces in a given day that you guys dont even blink...
